It's precisely avoiding calling someone too stupid to understand something, but instead asserts that they do have the capacity to understand something but that they're choosing not to, by deliberately not thinking about it. I don't know of a good english word for it though.
Willful ignorance would be what I would use to describe that in English.
There is a Sumerian Cuniform tablet from 1750 BC in which a man complains about a copper merchant called Ea-Nasir and the quality of his copper. Its a popular online meme due to being an extremely relatable but ancient form of customer complaint. At some point that particular Sumerian statue of a male worshipper got associated with the meme.
Considering that we now know the US funded anti-vax stuff during Covid in the Phillipines (thats the one they admitted to at least), this is probably a smart move.
Jim Gavin was the only candidate I saw that put posters up. Imagine being so forgetable and unknown you need to plaster election posters everywhere in a 3 person national election. It really is no competition, Connolly is the only one who can actually speak Irish for fucks sake. Honestly, I dont really think it matters either way, I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I actually heard Miggedly speak and not just shake someones hand or cut a ribbon.
Matthew Broderick, he was driving on the wrong side of the road in Northern Ireland and smashed right into another car, killing Anna Gallagher, 28, and her mother, Margaret Doherty, 63. He was fined $175. He continues to have a holiday home in Donegal that he uses frequently and has refused to meet with the family of the people he killed. He claims to have no memory of the crash.
Holy shit in that article they link to another about a woman suing google for contributing to her kids suicide with a chatbot and Google tried to claim that the chatbot was protected under free speech laws.
Yes, Cromwell too. Whom British History lessons convienently stop talking about after the civil war when he popped over to Ireland to commit mass genocide that completely reshaped the country to this day.
Black Library does have some geniunely good sci-fi hidden under all the crap. The trick is to completely avoid anything involving the Space Marines or anything that might affect the setting's status quo. Eisenhorn/Ravenor Trilogies is pretty good. Last Chancers is one of my favourites though, It was written when 40k authors were still allowed some freedom with the setting, its about a penal legion being sent on a bunch of increasingly more clandestine suicide missions. Peter Fehavari's books are an interesting attempt to carve out his little niché. Basically every book he writes, from the full novels to the short stories they write just to promote new models are all interconnected in a very cosmic horror web of connections. Warhammer Crime has some pretty good sci fi in it too, its essentially a series of short story omnibuses and full novels all written by different authors themed around sci-fi detective stories.
To me the Horus Heresy's popularity makes zero sense. I get how someone can sit through and enjoy a marvel movie alright. But how in the hell can someone sit down for hours to read the book equivalent? Its so much more excrutiating to do.
The video format reminds me alot of another guy on youtube called Chongqing Punk. I understand why he is speaking so fast but tbh I had to read the transcript and watch it twice just to take the words in. The state of the left-wing in Ireland is only slightly better than in England and Scotland. Sinn Fein are a nationalist party that takes all comers and will never be forgiven by the Civil(TM) people down south for not having the good graces to lie down and die during the Troubles. People Before Profit are a tiny party of Trotskyists who are essentially a party of independents spending most of their time coming up with new names for their next eventual schism/reformation.
We are living in the future, we need a more modern solution. That is why, in my professional goo expert opinion, we should be using the Gunk(TM) from Nickelodeon shows.
I think my favourite mural of all time has to be the Cuchulainn mural that portrays him as an Unionist Icon because he was an Ulsterman fighting off an army of Irishmen. I always thought it was a shame we couldn't pivot all that mural stuff into an actual art movement as its probably the closest thing we have to a distinct modern Northern Irish art form and a good mural really does improve the general feeling of a place.
Anyway, heres that dumn Cuchulainn one I was talking about:
Rubber and Plastic Bullets were invented by the British forces for use in Northern Ireland and killed 17 people, over half of whom were children, while seriously injuring over 615 people between 1988-98 including permanent blindness and loss of eyes.
